Our new paper investigates how the enhanced evaporation due to sea-ice retreat in the Arctic has contributed to cold season land precipitation over the Northern Hemisphere during 1980–2021. Moisture tracking suggests that additional evaporation from the Arctic marginal seas has contributed to a 32% increase in land precipitation, corresponding to a 16% increase per million square km sea-ice area loss.
